Bulletproof

Ten foot tall and bulletproof He always had a job to do Cows to feed and fence to mend Everybody called him friend He never owned a pair of shorts Hard work was his favorite sport Toothpick tucked up in his hat There ain't too many men like that His face was worn and weathered by the blazing Texas sun His hands were tough like leather from the hard work that he done He told the truth, wouldn't lie to you, lip full of long cut chew To me he'll always be... Ten foot tall and bulletproof Even when we got the news The doctor said it's spreading fast And we don't know how long he'll last He didn't shed a single tear In his eyes I saw no fear He got up and grabbed his boots Said in that case I've got things to do His face was worn and weathered by the blazing Texas sun His hands were tough like leather from the hard work that he done He told the truth, wouldn't lie to you, lip full of long cut chew To me he'll always be Ten foot tall and bulletproof The last time that I saw him he was only skin and bone A shell of his old self was still the toughest man I'd known And as he lay there dying he looked up and grinned at me Said I hope The Good Lord's got some cows to feed His face was worn and weathered by the blazing Texas sun His hands were tough like leather from the hard work that he done He told the truth, wouldn't lie to you, lip full of long cut chew To me he'll always be Ten foot tall and bulletproof To me he'll always be Ten foot tall and bulletproof
